Ra Gun-ah (35, 199 centimeters) has been reborn as a true pillar of the "super team." Not only attacks but also blocks. He is invoking MVP mode in the championship game as both public and private players.

 

KCC won 90-73 in the first round of the championship game against KT in the 2023-2024 Jeonggwanjang Professional Basketball held at KT Sonic Boom Arena in Suwon on the 27th. Ra Gun-ah played 24 minutes and 5 seconds, recording 14 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 blocks.

 

Ra Gun-ah is the starting point for KCC, which is showing off the aspect of a "super team" with the start of the playoffs. Ra Gun-ah is showing off her board control skills that are completely different from those of the regular league. Ra Gun-ah is firmly protecting the bottom of the net, creating synergy with Heo Woong, Song Kyo-chang, and Choi Jun-yong.

 

In the semi-final PO against SK, Ra Guni led the series sweep by banking on her aggressive capability that overwhelmed Jamil Warney. The same was true for the semi-final PO against DB. However, Ra Guni, who is quite old, was concerned about her physical stamina as she was the PO that would play with him.

 

Despite her tight race, Ra Gun-ah is gaining strength as she plays the series. She has been blocked from the last minute of the semifinal PO against DB. Ra Gun-ah is also seen in defense. Ra Gun-ah, who had six blocks in the fourth round of the semifinal PO against DB, also had three blocks in the first round of the championship game against KT, building an iron castle under the basket.

 

"Over the past few years, my knees have not been in good shape, and my block success rate has declined. Now my condition has improved a lot, and I have good rebounds, defense, and block shots," Ra Gun-ah said. "I will do everything to win. I want to contribute to my victory somehow." If KCC stands at the top, Ra Gun-ah is also likely to make her last dance as MVP.   스포츠토토

 

 

Lee Kang-in of the French professional football league, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), pulled the team out of defeat with a dramatic help.

 

PSG drew 3-3 in the 31st round of the 2023-2024 Ligue 1 match against Le Havre at the Parc des Princes in Paris, France, on the 28th.

 

PSG, which had no loss in 26 matches (18 wins and eight draws) in the league, has solidified its lead with 70 points. It is 12 points shorter than AS Monaco, which ranks second (58 points).

 

PSG, which aims to win its third consecutive championship in the league, failed to achieve early on the day, but it can confirm its win on Wednesday at the earliest. If AS Monaco fails to secure victory against Lyon at 2 a.m. on Tuesday, PSG will rise to the top of the league.

 

PSG, which allowed Christopher O'Feri to score the first goal in the 19th minute, tied the score with Bradley Barcola's score in the 29th minute. However, Andre Ayew scored in the 38th minute of the first half, and Abdoulaye Toure scored a penalty kick in the 16th minute of the second half, putting him in a tight spot.

 

PSG, which was eager to attack at the end of the second half, recovered a point with Ashraf Hakimi's goal, and Lee Kang-in helped Gonzalo Hamus score a dramatic equalizer in extra time to draw.

 

Lee Kang-in posted his third assist (two goals) in the league. He had four goals and four assists in official matches this season.  토토사이트

 

 

If you pick a professional sports club that symbolizes Busan, almost all Busan citizens will pick the professional baseball Lotte Giants. Lotte, which has been participating in the 42nd year since the beginning of professional baseball, has been one of the most popular professional baseball clubs, where countless star players have passed through and countless fans still cheer.

 

Lotte's recent years have been disappointing, however. It made fans' hearts flutter by racing tremendously in the spring, but repeatedly slipped like a lie as time passed. Some people say that they are not happy because they are good only in the spring. From 2018 to last year, Lotte failed to advance to the post season for six consecutive years. Fans are disappointed that the team failed to produce results even after spending a lot of money.

 

Lotte made an ambitious start by recruiting "master general" Kim Tae-hyung, who led the Doosan Bears' dynasty ahead of this season, but only won and lost two games in the first eight games. Now, the word "spring day" is in jeopardy.

 

 

Lotte fans, and furthermore, Busan citizens, hope that Lotte will continue to do well throughout the season, rather than just doing well in the spring. It is the sea they want to have a fruitful harvest in autumn when rice heads down heavily. In fact, all fans of any team feel the same way.

 

In that sense, in basketball, which harvests in spring, contrary to baseball, a team is waiting for Busan citizens to smile broadly from spring. It is Busan KCC, who left Jeonju and moved to Busan ahead of this season.

 

KCC finished the season 30-24 in fifth place. The team formed a "super team" consisting of Heo Woong, Lee Seung-hyun, Choi Jun-yong, Song Kyo-chang and Ra Gun-ah before the season, which is a humble performance compared to what was taken for granted. As Choi Jun-yong and Song Kyo-chang were away due to injury, it was one of the few days when they played the game as a whole team, and of course, they didn't have enough time for the whole team to work together.

 

In fact, KCC's performance continued to fluctuate even after the middle of the season. On top of that, coach Jeon Chang-jin, who emphasized stable play through the ball, and players who wanted to play early in the game did not work well together.

 

It was Heo Woong's request for an interview with him that changed the decision. Heo Woong, who asked Jeon to have an interview after a complete defeat against SK in Seoul (69-90) on March 3, suggested, "Defence is important, but we need to actively utilize our strengths with early offensives before the opponent team takes the defensive position," which Jeon accepted gladly. After the interview, KCC has become the league's strongest team in offense, with an early offensiveness that easily picks up 100 points.  스포츠중계

 

Still, KCC has some unsettling factors. However, it is important that KCC will be able to play full strength in the semifinal playoff against SK, which will begin on the 4th. It is important how well you work together, but in terms of players, you must win the championship. The early offensives of KCC, which proved to be powerful at the end of the season, is also something not to be ignored.  

 

KCC manager Jeon Chang-jin said at the media day of the professional basketball playoffs on Tuesday, "Now, we really have to show responsibility. Players know better why we failed in the regular season. Please show us your selfless play, not selfish play. If that happens, there is no reason to lose to any team, not SK. Let's show the miracle that fans want." This is the scenario that Busan citizens dreamt of the most.

 

In a women's match against Pepper Savings Bank in the 2023-2024 V-League held at Hwaseong Gymnasium on Sunday, IBK won the match with a set score of 3-0 25-14 25-12 25-19. Having secured 39 points, IBK closely chased fourth-ranked Chung Kwan-jang 41 points. On the contrary, Pepper Savings Bank has lost 21 consecutive games, the most in the women's league.

 

At Pepper Savings Bank, Park Jeong-ah scored five points from the first set. However, Yasmeen, who was absent from the previous match against GS Caltex due to shoulder pain, scored two points in the first set and displayed sluggish performance with an attack success rate of 25 percent. Pepper Savings Bank's overall attack success rate in the first set also remained at 25.64 percent.

 

On the contrary, IBK Industrial Bank of Korea evenly distributed scores among Pyo Seung-joo, Choi Jung-min and Hwang Min-kyung centered on Abercrombie. IBK Industrial Bank of Korea's success rate in the first set was 42.42 percent and attack efficiency was 39.39 percent.

 

The pattern was similar in the second set as well. IBK scored evenly in the second set as well. The overall attack success rate was 48.65 percent. Pepper Savings Bank had a 25 percent attack success rate and 8.33 percent attack efficiency. Yasmin's attack success rate was 16.67 percent and Park Jeong-ah's attack success rate was only 33.33 percent.

 

There was no reversal for Pepper Savings Bank. In the third set, Abercrombie and Hwang Min-kyung played the role of one-two punch, and Choi Jung-min supported them. Pepper Savings Bank narrowed the gap to two or three points, but no further chase. Eventually, it rewritten the disgraceful record of the most consecutive losses in women's history. At IBK Industrial Bank, Abercrombie scored 20 points, while Hwang Min-kyung 11 points and Pyo Seung-joo 10 points scored in double digits.

 

Meanwhile, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance defeated KB Insurance in a set score of 3-2 25-19 18-25 19-25 25-23 15-11 in a men's match held at Uijeongbu Gymnasium, escaping its third consecutive loss. Adding two points, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance 42 points rose to the fourth place, beating over KEPCO 41 points, which played one game less. KB Insurance 18 points has lost five consecutive games.  토토사이트

 

She also swept the gold medal at the 2024 Asian Weightlifting Championships. It is a valuable achievement in the women's 81-kilogram class, which she first competed in an international competition.

 

At the women's 81-kilogram competition held in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Kim won first place in all three categories with 110 kilograms of impression, 144 kilograms of dragon and 254 kilograms in total. Unlike the Olympic and Asian Games, where medals are awarded based solely on total records, the Asian Weightlifting Championships will award all three categories.

 

Kim has swept three gold medals in stable performance with no single failure through the third period of impression and the third period of dragon. This is the first time Kim has competed in an international competition in the 81kg class. She competed in the 76kg class at the Asian Weightlifting Championships and the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, winning gold and bronze medals, respectively.

 

The reason for the change in weight class is to participate in the Olympics. The women's division at the Hangzhou Asian Games was organized into seven weight classes (49kg, 55kg, 59kg, 64kg, 76kg, 87kg, and 87kg or more), but the Paris Olympics excluded Kim Soo-hyun's 76kg class as the women's division was reduced to five weight classes (49kg, 59kg, 71kg, 81kg, and 81kg or more).

 

As she won the Asian Championships, Kim raised her qualifying ranking for the Paris Olympics from 11th to a tie for sixth. Twelve athletes per weight class will participate in the Paris Olympics. "I'm used to the 81kg class. I'm cruising towards the Paris Olympics," Kim said. "I'm preparing smoothly and I'm not sick at all." Kim Yi-seul (23, Incheon City Hall), who also participated in the event, won two bronze medals with 105kg of impression, 133kg of dragon award, and 238kg in total. The impression only ranked fourth, but she also ranked third in the dragon award and finished the race in the third place. The second place was Rizina Adasivaev (22, Uzbekistan), who carried a total of 243kg (107kg of impression, 136kg of dragon award).

 

In the women's 76kg class, Chung Chun-hee (25, North Korea) won with 111kg of impression, 125kg of dragon and 236kg in total. All 11 North Korean athletes who participated in the competition were ranked first in the weight class, proving themselves to be a weightlifting powerhouse.  토토사이트

 

Kim Soo-hyun said to North Korea's Song Kuk-hyang and Chung Chun-hee, who won the bronze medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games in October last year and ranked first and second, "I liked Lim Jeong-sim among North Korean athletes, but I am playing with two better players. I also pledged to do better than these guys," adding, "I will do my best to finish this with a smile on the podium."

 

Kim Sung-hyun started the WM Phoenix Open tied for third place.

 

Kim played four under par in the first round of the WM Phoenix Open of the PGA Tour held at TPC Scottsdale in Scottsdale, Arizona on Sunday. With some players unable to complete the first round due to unfavorable weather conditions, Kim is tying for third with 6-under lead Sahith Sigala of the U.S. by two strokes.

 

Kim is in her second year on the PGA Tour in the 2022-2023 season. Her best performance was the runner-up at the Fortinet Championship in September last year.

 

Kim Sung-hyun had his first chance to win with one eagle, five birdies, and three bogeys.

 

Kim Sung-hyun said, "It was too cold today and it wasn't easy because the temperature went down. I don't usually like cold days. I was able to get off to a good start thanks to my early birdie and eagle. I'm going to play hard in the remaining rounds."

 

The WM Phoenix Open is not a signature PGA Tour tournament, but a large number of top players, including Scottie Scheffler of the United States, participated.  스포츠토토

 

Im Sung-jae and Kim Si-woo are tied for 18th at 1-under par. Kim Si-woo only played five holes. An lost one shot at eight holes and tied for 79th. Lee Kyung-hoon lost two shots at four holes, tying for 97th. Kim Joo-hyung slowed to a tie for 111th at 3-over par.

 

Lee Kyung-hoon tied for second in 2021 for the best record in the WM Phoenix Open by a Korean player.

 

 Are you sure if Brighton took it?

 

Tottenham Hotspur seem determined to hijack Brighton's prospect.

 

British media 'Team Talk' reported on the 19th (Korea time) that Tottenham is trying to intercept Brighton's coveted striker.

 

The main character is Samuel Ealing Jr., an England striker who plays for Juventus. Born in 2003, he played in all different age groups in England. He can play as left and right wing forward.

 

Above all, it is interesting that Brighton is an eye-catching player. Brighton is famous for finding young players with abundant potential recently.

 

Team Talk explained, "Brighton shows fantastic ability to recruit young players and grow them into the best players in the Premier League. Other good examples include Kaoru Mitoma, Evan Ferguson, and Moises Casedo."

 

Caicedo, in particular, has turned Brighton into a colossus club. According to Team Talk, Brighton bought Caicedo for 4.5 million pounds and sold it to Chelsea for 115 million pounds.

 

Team Talk explained, "Brighton was trying to recruit Ealing Jr., who was underutilized and underrated in Juventus. Tottenham noticed Brighton's plans. Tottenham is trying to recruit Ealing Jr. before he becomes an expensive star in Brighton. Tottenham will soon submit an official bid for Juventus."

 

"Tottenham manager Enzi Postecoglou is known to be a big fan of Ealing Jr. Ealing Jr. mainly plays in the left side but can also play as a right winger if needed," he added.

 

If Ealing Jr. joins, he could have a variety of offensive combinations with Son Heung-min, Hishalisson, Dejan Klusevski, and Brennan Johnson. 스포츠중계

 

Team Talk said, "If Tottenham signs a contract with Ealing Jr., it will provide additional options for its offense. It will help protect the club from the effects of various injuries. Juventus wants between 15 million pounds and 20 million pounds (about 25 billion won to 33 billion won)."

Six uniforms worn by soccer star Lionel Messi 36, Argentina were sold for $7.8 million and about 10 billion won.

 

According to ESPN, a U.S. sports media outlet, on the 15th, six sets of uniforms Messi wore when he won the FIFA Qatar World Cup 2022 were sold for $7.8 million at the Sotheby's auction in New York, the U.S.

 

The uniform set is what Messi wore in the first half of two of Argentina's three group games, in the round of 16 Australia, the quarterfinals the Netherlands, the semifinals Croatia, and the final France.

 

"We will donate some of the auction proceeds to Barcelona Children's Hospital in Spain to use them for children suffering from diseases," Messi said. 스포츠토토

Messi's uniform set is expected to break the all-time high among the uniform auctions worn by sports players in the game, but it did not surpass the previous record.

 

The highest record is that of Michael Jordan, the "basketball king" of the U.S. The uniform Jordan wore in the first round of the 1998 NBA championship was sold for 10.1 million U.S. dollars in September last year, marking the highest winning bid ever.

 

Among soccer players, the uniform worn by Diego Maradona Argentina in the quarterfinals against England at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico was sold for $9.28 million about 12 billion won in May last year.

 

Setter Lee Da-young 27, Llanet has received praise from the world's most prestigious media in volleyball.

 

Poland's "Televija Polska" praised Lee Da-young in the 2023-24 Women's Champions League review content, saying, "A playmaker who plays great and good. The fast and accurate ball distribution surprised the opponents this season."

 

Televijia Polska is a television channel run by the Polish government. Volleyball in Poland shines the world No. 1 in the men's national team, No. 1 in the men's league, No. 2 in Europe, No. 4 in Europe, and No. 7 in the world.

 

Lee Da-young left Lapid Bucharest Romania in June 2023 and joined Le Carne France. Romania ranked seventh in the European Women's Volleyball League last season, while France ranked fifth this season.

 

LeCane ranks first in Group E of the European Volleyball Federation Women's Champions League finals with three wins and one loss. If she maintains the lead in the remaining two group games, she will advance to the quarterfinals.

 

"Televija Polska" warned teams participating in the 2023-24 European Women's Champions League, "Even if you feel that the game is going well enough to feel pleased and satisfied."

 

Russia, ranked third in the European Women's Volleyball League, will not be able to play in international matches after its invasion of Ukraine. In fact, this is why it is good to see Poland as one of the three major leagues this season.

 

Middle blocker Alexandra Gryka 23, Wux Uchi picked "setter Lee Da-young who is good at playmaking" as "an interesting 2023-24 European Volleyball Federation Women's Champions League player" in an interview reported by "Televija Polska."

 

The winner of the 2022-23 Polish First Division, Oksucci, is losing face this season, staying in third place in Group E of the Champions League. The loss of the set score 2-3 25:23 18:25 15:25:20 7:15 in the third away match against Le Cane was painful. 스포츠토토

 

Lee Da-young won the European Volleyball Federation MVP award for her performance with a set share of 19.0 percent 20/105 and five points against defending champion Wux Uchi of Poland. Through two blocks and two serve aces, Lee impressed LeCane regardless of defense and attack.

 

Woox Uchi will play the final home game of Group E of the Champions League against Le Carne on January 17, 2024 . Another Polish broadcaster, Polsat Sport, advised Woox Uchi that "Korea's playmaker Lee Da-young is the key to Karne. He uses a serve that is really difficult to get."

 

Polish volleyball media "Strepa Siatkupki" also warned that "Lee Da-young at first was faithful to her role as a setter and after the middle of the game, she plays the role of Le Cane ace with decisive points and blocks, giving the team a victory."

Manchester United's biggest failure Donny van der Beek is likely to leave for the German Bundesliga.

 

Fabrizio Romano, a European transfer market expert, made van der Beek's loan move to Frankfurt, Germany, a fait accompli on his social networking service (SNS) on the 17th. He also added "here we go," which he has been using since last summer when his transfer was imminent.

 

According to Romano, Van der Beek will head to Frankfurt for a six-month lease during the winter transfer market. When it comes to rent, it is different. Romano expects a certain rent to be incurred, but German media agree that there is no rent. However, the option of fully recruiting is included. If Frankfurt is satisfied with Van der Beek's performance, it can be recruited by paying 15 million euros.

 

Manchester United is expected to lose nearly half of its investment. They spent 39 million euros in 2020 to recruit Van der Beek, who played for Ajax. Expectations were high. Van der Beek's value soared earlier that year when Ajax made a splash in the semifinals in the UEFA Champions League. At one point, he received a maximum ransom of 55 million euros from Transfermarkt, who values players. 스포츠토토

 

Manchester United expected Van der Beek to play various roles in the midfield to build a solid back. However, he failed to adjust to the English Premier League and fell into the abyss. When he joined the club, he was only interested in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and was not given a chance to play.

 

Van der Beek did not stand out in all the coaches of the Manchester United. Notably, Erik ten Hag, who used himself well with Ajax, failed to make inroads into the starting lineup even after taking the helm. Even Ten Hag might have been disappointed with Van der Beek, but he did not provide a chance to turn the tables.

 

Meanwhile, Van der Beek has drastically reduced his playing time. He has been playing for Manchester United for almost three seasons, but has played only 42 matches in the Premier League. Among them, he started only six times. He played only 62 matches in all official matches and left the Manchester United.

 

 

"Please write an article that he's taking my bat!"

 

The San Diego Padres Clubhouse is set to play an away game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on the 29th (Korea Standard Time). Infielder Jake Cronenworth smiled at the reporter and shouted. Next to him, Kim Ha-sung wrapped a tape around the bat with a smile.

 

Kim Ha-sung, who has recently performed well using Nelson Cruz's bat, brought Kronenworth's bat this time.

 

There is another reason why I am looking for my teammates' bats. Because I'm looking for an Axbat with an unusual end of the handle. "I feel like I'm using less wrists," he said, liking Axbat.

 

It is not strange to give bats to each other in the Major League. If a colleague requests it, it will be served "coolly" like Cronenworth on this day. Kim Ha-sung also sometimes lends his bat to his teammates.

 

In Major League Baseball, the club pays for the bat. Players who are about to make a milestone purchase and use the bat themselves to take ownership of the bat, but this is a unique case. This is why "Bat generosity" is bound to be generous.

 

The difference from the KBO League is also felt here. Kim Ha-sung said, "In Korea, the club says that subsidies will come from the club, but players have to pay for the bat to buy it. On top of that, bats come from overseas, so it takes about a month to order. It is not easy to lend to colleagues because there are not many bats. On the other hand, the U.S. is different because it comes right away when the club pays for it and orders it. There are dozens of bats piled up in the warehouse, he said, explaining the differences between Korea and the United States.

 

Perhaps thanks to his teammates' help, Kim Ha-sung has been hitting hard with a batting average of 0.395 (17 hits in 43 at-bats), three home runs and nine RBIs in the past 12 games. 토토사이트

 

Coach Bob Melvin has been giving him the heavy responsibility of the first batter since the San Francisco expedition on the 23rd. In five games as the first batter, he is recording seven hits, three home runs and seven RBIs in 20 at-bats. He got four walks while striking out three.

 

On this day, he will be the first to go to bat. San Diego announced the lineup of Kim Ha-sung (second baseman), Fernando Tatis Jr. (right fielder), Juan Soto (left fielder), Manny Machado (third baseman), Xander Bogart (shortstop), Jake Cronenworth (first baseman), Gary Sanchez (catcher), Matt Carpenter (nominated hitter), and Trent Grisham (center fielder). The starting pitcher is Blake Snell.

 

German media "Bild" reported on the 14th  that "Bayern Munich was willing to negotiate a renewal to prevent Alfonso from moving to Real Madrid."

 

Alfonso is considered the best left-back in the Bundesliga. He played in 38 games in all competitions last season, establishing himself as an indispensable part of Munich's defense.

 

As he was a former striker, his aerodynamic power is especially outstanding. Alfonso also raised his stock price by scoring three goals and eight assists with explosive speed and accurate cross last season.

 

Compared to his steady performance, his future in Munich is uncertain. Alfonso has yet to agree to renew his contract with Munich, even though his contract is set to expire in 2025. 스포츠토토

 

Complaints against the club are bound to accumulate. In an interview in June, Alfonso's agent, Nedal Huse, confessed, "Munich has not offered any position on renewing the contract after the leadership change."

 

Real has dug into this gap. Real's president Florentino Perez is known to want Alfonso as a new left-back.

 

It's not Munich to watch. According to the report, Munich has not given up renewing his contract with Alfonso despite rumors of a transfer to Real.

 

The key to renewing the contract is financial compensation. "If Munich offers a sufficiently increased salary, Alfonso is likely to remain," the media said. "Otherwise, he may head to Real," he analyzed.
